The report is 11 months in the making and includes more than 100 hours of jailhouse interviews with Shapiro (which he may have allegedly been paid for), and some of the allegations are corroborated by former players, other witnesses, and financial statements. Among the litany of wrongdoings: Shapiro paid for prostitutes for players, gave them access to his yacht (sometimes for hooker parties), and provided money and jewelry. The corruption involved 72 players over most of the last decade, and even some coaches (though neither Larry Coker or Randy Shannon is said to be involved).

It's too much to aggregate. Read it for yourself. Then join us as we go through the seven stages of grief, because holy shit folks, this is the kind of stuff that could warrant major NCAA sanctions. The kind of sanctions that could doom a once storied but now struggling program to another lost decade of irrelevance.ShockAjsdikasjdikasjfdiasdfjsidgfjsoigjhdsifogjsdifjdsiofjdiofjasiofhasdfhdsfhsdkfjhsdklfsdhf. Hahkshd. We. Just. Can't. Oh. Sweet. Football. Lord.

DenialCome on, Shapiro is a convicted Ponzi schemer. He may have gotten paid for the Yahoo! interview. He's a criminal mastermind well versed in pulling off schemes, manipulating financial records, and calling attention to himself. Did you read our cover story on him last year? He's exactly the kind of guy who could fool a journalist into believing these allegations.

How could this even happen under the nun-like Donna Shalala and her disciplined lackey Randy Shannon? Let's also remember for part of the time this all went on, former athletic director Paul Dee sat on the NCAA infractions committee. Given all of that and the program's previous history of running afoul of the NCAA, don't you think they'd be extra careful not to get involved in this kind of rampant bullshit? It's almost unimaginable that this took place.

AngerIt's one thing to get caught in a scandal while you're playing well. It's another thing to play crappy, but still be the spitting image of NCAA compliance. It's a totally fucking inexcusable thing to play like shit and still break NCAA rules like there's no tomorrow.

Is it just a coincidence that Shapiro's alleged involvement in funding this kind of shit happened in 2002? That was pretty much the last year the team was good. Ever since then we've seen promising talent come in and disappoint. And no wonder. Doesn't it make sense that access to things like hookers, cash, nightclubs and yachts would diminish someone's will to win? Would that not be something of a distraction? Wouldn't it undermine much of the discipline coaches are trying to implement on the field?

GuiltThen again, as fans of college football, we are complacent in a system in which lots of people make millions and millions of dollars while the players on the field make absolutely nothing.

An anonymous player says in the story, "[Tyrone Moss] had a kid while he was in college, a little Tyrone Jr. He comes in poor as (expletive) from Pompano and he's got a little kid to feed. I could barely feed myself. I can't imagine having to feed a kid, too. Of course he's going to take it when someone offers him $1,000."

It's a flawed, unfair system, and yet we as fans are guilty for not demanding or accepting changes.

Pain and SorrowThis will set in as soon as we see one of our friends who happen to be a Seminole or a Gator fans. Oh, it will be painful. How we taunted them over the years as their players got arrested, and ours remained clean. Of course they weren't committing petty crimes. They were too busy throwing it in hookers on yachts.

Release And Resolution

Ain't shit nobody can do about it now, assuming this is all true. Plus, none of the allegations will force the team to vacate any of those national championships. The years affected were pitiful anyway.

Return To the Willingness To LoveSack up. Next season is still around the corner. Nothing has been proven completely yet. It could be months, more than a year even, until the NCAA releases a ruling. Under most situations, a death penalty comes only after a program has been found guilty of other major infractions in the past five years. So, that's unlikely.

Nevin Shapiro didn't F the U, the NCAA did. It's absolute BS your not supposed to take a student-athlete out for drinks, or to a club or on your yacht. If I'm out drinking with students, I pick up the check. If I had a boat I'd invite them out gratis too. When I was a student hundreds of people probably bought me a drink at one point or another, even at school organized events. I've also gone fishing (on Columbus day) for free while student, driven a Ferrari and banged like screen door in a hurricane and never paid a cent.

The NCAA is such bunch of money grubbing ba$tards that they shame students for accepting what most students get for free so that the NCAA can suck every last dollar out of the students' hard work.

Nevin is a snitch! Nevin is going to get it in jail! Too funny. The U allowed this guy to corrupt. They cashed his checks and contributions. They turned their heads when they knew what he was up to. And this is little Nevin's fault? It's not too late to get FIU season tix. Go Golden Panthers!

this guy shapiro is the worst kinda guy to get his hooks into you, he has nothing to lose and a lot of documentation to back up his claims. it's always a disgruntled guy who screws you, once he felt abandoned upon his ponzi scheme arrest it was all over.

the u could get very near the death penalty for this. shapiro has diarrhea of the mouth and he is snitching for snitching's sake. huge problem, this is the worse kinda trouble with the worse kinda guy, absolutely nothing to lose. some friend of miami u in that prison needs to take care of business before this guy totally destroys the progam.

Wow, so knock the guy off to kill any remaining secrets?? This college football thing is sick. "Fans" like you think "this is all ok, lets make the best of it and limit the damage"?Pffft. Face it. You, the program teh coaches the university and the NCAA are corrupt. heck, most of Miami knew what was going on and everyone looked the other way.Sad.

These amazing replies helped more than anything else to understand the outlook of the Miami boosters. You have been caught. You are guilty, the University, the boosters, Bobblehead Shalala, everyone. It is not only Shapiro and the jocks. And now, instead of saying, "We need to clean this mess up," here are people suggesting that you just hire someone to knock off Shapiro in prison and all will be well. All will not be well in Miami. The Kool Aid has been drunk, Lil Luther has the documents and good attorneys.The Death Penalty hangs over The U. Then, later, the obvious homsexual implications of the Shapiro relationships will begin to trickle out. Welcome to soujth Florida, Coach Golden, now let's deflate the footballs and tell those recruits that the dressing room, the weight room (to say nothing of the yachts, mansions, strip clubs, and brothels are going to be off limits. Better still, see if the Cubans would like to buy the place.
